That depends on the scale you want to use.
On a scale in which 2 inches represents 5 feet, a length of 7.5 inches would represent 18.75 feet.
This can be solved with a simple proportion problem. You set it up like this: .5/3 = x/24 Then you can cross multiply to get: (.5)24 = 3x The simplify to get: 12 = 3x Then divide both sides to get: 4 = x So, you need 4 inches to represent 24 feet using this scale.
The large numbers represent inches on a standard tape. Depending on the scale, smaller numbers could be in 16ths or 32s of an inch.
I don't know. Maybe you should study!
It would represent 6 inches!
Graphic and fractional scales are two different things. A graphic scale on a map is a line marked with the lengths which represent real distances. It has a zero at one end. A fractional scale simply gives the ratio between map and real distances, e.g. 1: 10 000, so zero doesn't come into it.

1:100
That depends on the scale you want to use.
(63360 x 5in) / 10in on map = 31,680 ==> the fraction scale is 1:31,680

The "scale" of a map is a proportionality constant between distances on the map and corresponding distances on the area the map represents. Call the unknown number of inches n. Then 1/2 = n/12, or n = 6.
The scale on a printed map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the distance on the ground. For example, 1 inch on a 1:250000 scale map would be 250000 inches on the earth.
